So yesterday evening I had my first followup with Dr. Savoie at Tulane's Sports Medicine clinic. He feeling reasonably good about things and so we're going to pass on the surgical option for now since the shoulder seems to be maintaining a good relationship with the rest of me, which is to say it's still out where it needs to be. When I told him that the current x-brace that I've been wearing tends to move farther out on my collarbone than the break we devised a little field modification involving lots of velcro that should help keep some pressure on the piece closest to my neck so it stays close enough to the other pieces that they'll all eventually merge into a big glob of bony matrix. Naturally, that is making it a little more painful today, especially when I'm on the computer typing, which is pretty much what I do all day. So I think I'll stop in a minute and take some Advil! Otherwise, I rode the little folding bike in to work again today, which is a lot less stressful than driving and parking, especially since today is Farmers' Market day at the office. The x-ray above is from yesterday evening and is from a different perspective than the one I posted last week, which is why the gap looks so much more impressive.
